In his ever expanding list of enemies, Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Nyesom Wike, has vowed to take on his former friend, former Governor of Sokoto State, Aminu Tambuwal.
Over the weekend, Mr. Tambuwal appeared on Channels TV’s “Politics Today” where he was alleged to have made statements considered offensive to Mr. Wike and President Bola Tinubu.
Not someone reputed for shying away from fights, Wike vowed to square up to Tambuwal in no distant future.
Mr Lere Olayinka, the Minister’s Senior Special Assistant on Public Communications and Social Media, made this known in a statement issued on Monday in Abuja.
Olayinka assured that the FCT minister would not allow Tambuwal’s aspersions against him and the President, to go without appropriate responses.
Tambuwal had said on Channels Television’s “Politics Today”, on Friday, that his political choices had always been guided by principles of leadership and not by personal relationships.
The former governor also said that he would support former Vice President Atiku Abubakar over Wike, if he had to make a choice on who should lead the country.
Olayinka said that he had been inundated with calls, especially from journalists, seeking the minister’s reaction to Tambuwal’s comments.
“Apart from what he said against the minister, Tambuwal also cast aspersions on President Tinubu and such will not go unresponded to.
“Therefore, what I can say is that the minister will respond accordingly. He will definitely tell Nigerians what a betrayal is and what it means to have integrity.
“Till then, let’s keep our fingers crossed,” he said.
